But a bNode of type rdf:Statement is not a triple, it
is the reification of a triple to which can be added
additional knowledge such as authority, source, scope,
etc.
Whether two reification bNodes describe the same triple
does not necessarily mean that other properties ascribed
to each of those bNodes individually apply to all bNodes
reifying the same triple.

I think that the point of this discussion is to take it
seriously -- by trying to come to a consensus about what
it is and how it works (or should work) in RDF.
Just because others may view it differently does not mean
they are not taking it as seriously.
